While we are not EBF, I do breastfeed my daughter (6 months on the 17th). Did anyone else's monthly "friend" come back with a damn vengeance around this time? Sweet baby Jesus! I feel horrible. I want to crawl in the corner with a bag of Oreos and a pint or 3 of Ben and Jerry's (I have not LOL). Anyone else or am I alone in this mess?

    Yup, my daughter is only 14 weeks and I'm on my second visit! Also trying hard to avoid all the carbs!

    OMFG! Yesterday was my cardio day and seriously, I felt like with every push forward on the elliptical, my uterus was about to fall out. I do not remember it sucking this bad after I had my son. This is scaring me into not wanting a third. I might die once this thing comes back. LOL

    I just had my third a year ago (recently stopped bfing) and seriously.. My periods are TERRIBLE! I totally relate with feeling like my uterus is going to fall out!! It hurts so bad! It is just this crazy heaviness feeling. I am definitely thinking that I want no more kids now! Lol I have found that Motrin helps some.. But I am pretty much curled up that week.

    I ebf and got my period 6 weeks after delivery. You know what was worse than the blood? The hormones.
    ...this means I'm about due for another one. :s

    Yes at pretty much exactly 6 months for me, ebf. It wasn't too painful the first few visits but then they got super far apart (like 50 days) and so painful :-( hang in there it should settle over time x

    I don't remember exactly when mine came back, but every month I wish I were in labour.

    With both my kids it came back at 7 weeks and I breastfeed exclusively till solids were introduced, around 7mths.
    so I am one of those women that could have had kids less than a year apart.

    On the bright side it means your body is healing and trying to get back into its rythem

    I'm 6 weeks post partum and just stopped bleeding from having him. Four weeks of that crap after a csection. I didnt breast feed long, two weeks max. Your posts don't give me a good outlook for when it comes back! Lol
